I had been looking for information about an unattended power-up
feature on your AlphaStations.  It seems that old systems do not
power-up and boot when power is restored after a power outage.  This
feature exists on recent alpha systems, but I know that this answer is
not what you are looking for.  You may try looking into RMC instead,
but it probably do not meet your requirements either (you may be able
to remotely power-on your workstations, but it will not be an
unattended boot either).  Perhaps someone here will suggest a better
approach.
